Do I need a visa for treatment in Korea?
It depends on your nationality and how long you will stay. Citizens of some countries can enter without a visa for a short stay, but may need an electronic travel authorization. Others need a visa. Check with the Korean embassy or consulate in your country before you book flights.
Which visa do medical visitors usually apply for?
Visitors who come for treatment usually apply for a medical tourism visa. Treatment that takes longer than a short stay may require a different visa type. The embassy decides which visa applies to you.
What documents are usually required?
Embassies commonly ask for a passport, an application form, a document from the hospital showing your appointment or treatment plan, an invitation letter, and proof that you can pay for treatment and your stay. Requirements differ by country and change over time.
How does your invitation letter help?
After the hospital confirms your appointment, we prepare an invitation letter and help you collect the hospital documents. We cannot decide whether a visa is issued; that decision belongs to the embassy or consulate.
